Eric Mercur* – st 1975

This is really a light R&B album like Donny Gerard’s from around the same time. It is notable to westcoast fans for featuring David Foster on Piano on 8 of the 10 tracks (His stand-in on track 3 is David Paich no-less). In fact, as far as I can see, this album features all the members of Attitudes who were George Harrison’s backing band at the time. “Love Enough” is a first-class westcoast piano ballad and Eric even tries his hand at a country song, so you can’t say he’s not diverse. His voice reminds me a lot of Richie Havens. (By warrian)

Another cd in a different mood (funk / disco/ fusion) featuring early Foster and Graydon. Not my fav. one, but interesting and impossible to find. It has some vinyl-style noises present on the cd, but I promise it’s a cd release (perhaps they’ve made it out of a vinyl, perhaps I’m a bit paranoid about noise)

No, your are correct. Those snaps and pops are on the remastered CD. I have The Bottom Line CD too if anyone wants it. Between Sergio’s share and that one you get both complete Pegasus and Bottom Line albums plus two 12″ versions of the dance floor hits from each AND you also get 6 of the 8 Midnight Flyer tracks (one of the missing ones is an exact repeat of a track from The Bottom Line album anyway). Not great stuff by any means but essential to the Graydon/Foster collectors amongst us. It was these sessions where they first worked together.

I’m off to correct the skippy Baron Longfellow tracks with new vinyl and rip a whole bunch of other stuff. Keeping had70 and his family in my thoughts always.
